United States v Canada: Quarterfinals - 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup
CINCINNATI, OHIO - JULY 09: Matt Turner #1 of the United States reacts after a save during the penalty shoot out in the Quarterfinal match in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup against Canada at TQL Stadium on July 09, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It took a wild late equalizer and a huge penalty kick defensive stand from goalie Matt Turner, but the U.S. men’s national team is headed to the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals.
The United States rallied late and beat Canada 3-2 on penalty kicks on Sunday at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. That sent the Americans into the next round and narrowly saved them from what would have been a historic upset loss to Canada. The Americans played their way into penalty kicks with a late goal in the final minutes of extra time. Turner saved the first two penalty kicks for the United States, and then Charles-Andréas Brym hit the crossbar with his final attempt for Canada — which sealed the 3-2 win on penalty kicks.
It looked as if Canada was going to sneak away with a win and snap the United States' 28-match win streak against CONCACAF opponents on home soil. Jacob Schaffelburg, in the 108th minute, made an incredible move up the left side of the field and snuck his goal into the other side of the net to give Canada its first lead of the game.
